    Define Filter Conditions


      Article summary

      • By setting up filter conditions, we check if there is at least one record in the system that matches my defined criteria.
      • On every object node that you access, you can define filter conditions. To do so, select Define Filter Conditions = Yes.

      • This opens the Conditions Builder, consisting of 3 actions:
        1. Define a filter condition
        2. Add new condition(s)
        3. Condition filter logic


      Define a Filter Condition

      2. Select a field to filter based on its data. 

      • You can either scroll through the fields list or enter the name or a part of the field name or API name to narrow down the selection.
      • Per each available field, you can see an icon indicating the field type (checkbox, text, date, etc.), the field label, and the API name.
      • You got access to all standard, custom and managed package fields.
      • Click on the field to confirm your selection.

      3. Define your filter value

      • To finalize your filter condition, select or enter a filter value.


      Add New Condition(s)

      • If you want to add more filter conditions, click + Add Condition and repeat the steps of Define a filter condition.


      Remove Filter Condition(s)

      • If you made a mistake and want to remove a filter condition, click the bin icon to the right of this filter condition.

      Condition Filter Logic

      • As soon as you have more than one filter condition, you need to decide what logic should apply.
      • The default logic is: All Conditions Are Met.
        • So, each defined filter condition must be met for a record to be part of this audience.
        • Condition 1 AND Condition 2 AND Condition 3.
      • Alternatively, you can choose:
        • Any Conditions Are Met
          • Using this filter logic, it doesn't matter which filter conditions are met as long as one is met.
          • Condition 1 AND Condition 2 AND Condition 3.
        • Custom Logic is Met
          • Using this filter logic, you unlock a custom input field where you need to define the logic yourself.
          • A number displays each filter condition that you can see to the left of the conditions.
          • You can use brackets to nest a certain logic.
          • Example: Condition 1 AND (Condition 2 OR Condition 3)


      Finish your Filter Conditions

      • Once you've defined all filter conditions and set up the logic, click Done to finish the setup.
      • If you don't want to save your input or changes, click Cancel or the close button (x) above the top right corner.
